Per this (disapproving!) article:
Pam’s developed a cocaine addiction as a result of a flight she spent wrapped in a body cast made of cocaine (don’t bother asking), and in the most recent episode, she was revealed to have lost a bunch of weight, ostensibly as a result of her new habit.

+1 and thanks! I should have guessed that that had something to do with it. Is there any conclusive evidence? Commented Jul 18, 2015 at 6:50

5@WadCheber they refer to it in the show, e.g. "I guess we have to decide if we want regular lame Cheryl and a Pam who's not gonna overdose on cocaine and die, or potentially famous country singer Cheryl and a Pam who tits." Commented Jul 18, 2015 at 7:04

Link is broken, but I believe that the above occurs during Season 5 (Archer Vice) Episode 2.– RajCommented Aug 13, 2019 at 13:21

1@Raj fixed it with an archive.org link, thanks for pointing it out. And yes, the cocaine body cast is worn during s05e02: archer.fandom.com/wiki/Archer_Vice:_A_Kiss_While_Dying Commented Aug 13, 2019 at 15:13

I seem to recall her Pam mentioning early in season 6 that once she broke her cocaine habit, she returned to her unhealthy eating habits instead, explaining both her loss and subsequent regain of weight. Commented Aug 13, 2019 at 15:58
